There's a lot more, but I can't think of some.
Yeah. If you take the post-race political, that would just be bad.
However, I would have to say that anybody who can't find something to make fun of Trump about is either dead or worse.
Worse....it would be pointless. My definition of politics is the proliferation of almost useless information, conjectures and statistics designed to dazzle a population into blindness so that they do not see how they are being ruthlessly extorted by a tiny fraction of that population.
Ever think about why there are rich people in the world ? It is because over centuries of human development they have slowly created systems that enable the hoarding of resources on a massive scale. Politics is one of those things designed to keep people from paying too much attention to these systems. They're too busy fighting over who is liberal and who is conservative. Who is pro-choice or pro-life. If this politician or that is better at foreign policy.
Now when I say rich....I don't mean petty millionaires. I'm talking billionaires. Why in God's name would any one person need such excessive resources. He can't possibly eat any better with 10 billion dollars than he can with 10 million. Systems that facilitate such massive hoarding at the hands of a single individual is grossly unjust especially when there are good people out there struggling for even the simplest necessities.
Don't mistake me though, if I figure out the password to give me access to the system of hoarding(Rags to riches)....I would hoard my ass off. As unjust as it is, I'm not here to change the world, I'd exploit it just as quickly. I'm just not gonna pretend that its right.
Ok....nuff of that nonsense.....Moar mermaids ?
Donald Trump wears a toupee. Hehe.

Liberalism (from French libéralisme circa 1818 < Latin liber "free") is focused on freedoms such as free and fair elections and the right to vote, little government, limited government powers e.g the separation of powers, trial by jury, civil rights, freedom of speech, association, the press, religion, markets and trade, etc. Liberalism rejects notions such as "hereditary privilege, state religion, absolute monarchy, and the Divine Right of Kings"- Wiki. As a result liberalism also represents the right of the public to overthrow tyrants where ever they may be found.
Conservatism from the Latin servāre meaning "I watch over, maintain; I protect, keep, guard, save" usually refers to a risk adverse and slowly progressive society when used in relation to politics. "There is no single set of policies that are universally regarded as conservative, because the meaning of conservatism depends on what is considered traditional in a given place and time. Thus, conservatives from different parts of the world—each upholding their respective traditions—may disagree on a wide range of issues." - Wiki.
Historically conservatism represented the traditional hereditary aristocracy and was thus directly opposed to liberalism although liberalism, over time, was able to successfully replace those ideologies focusing on the centralization of power and is now viewed as the "dominant ideology of modern times" - Wiki. As a result in the United States a political conservative is now defined as "A person who favors decentralization of political power" (e.g -> http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/political_conservative).
Liberalism at an international level led to the creation of the United Nations after World War II, and the emergence of an international federation called Liberal International which is based in England at 1 Whitehall Place, London, SW1A 2HD see -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_International Furthermore "most of the world's richest and most powerful nations are liberal democracies with extensive social welfare programs" - Wiki.
Completely wrong!!
You need to stop burning those books!
The less the public knows the better???
Well historically conservatism was linked to monarchies and oligarchies although both of those ideologies have since faded or died!
I like stinky cheese.

Omelet du fromage, and my momma said that Dexter's Lab wouldn't teach me anything!
Why care? I could certainly follow a path that would make me far richer than I am now, but what would be my motivation? In the end, we're all worm food. If your objective is to look down on all around you, then it would make sense to gather everything around you. When I really think about my desires, they pretty much involve not being around people, so there'd be nothing to look down on. Not being around people isn't the objective, it's just a side effect. I'm not anti-social by any means, it's just that my desires take me to places where few people go and in ways that few people go. Frankly, I suspect that if I was rich enough to not need to work I'd probably be dead already. I don't make many bad decisions, and my instinctive reactions are generally the right ones, but even with that I've had my share of close calls that could easily have gone a different way. I've been in a rock slide that could have trapped me on a high peak, I've been struck in the head by a falling rock the size of a football (American), I've been narrowly missed by a falling tree in a windstorm, I've dodged other trees in a hurricane, the hypothermia possibilities are not worth recounting, and so on. If I were rich, I'd be doing more of that. Eventually, the dice might come up wrong.
Still, why envy the rich? It's not going to make you feel any better nor them any worse. If being rich is what makes you happy, then chase that goal with all diligence. Otherwise, don't bother.
This thread is so nutty that it's hard to be topical.
All this time...
A waste...
Why Witis, why would you crush a man like that?

Best that it is just your attitude. In my case, it's my latitude.
